Domenik Hixon Slated For No. 3 WR Role

According to Jorge Castillo of the Newark Star-Ledger, Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said Domenik Hixon will start the season as the team's No. 3 receiver.

Fantasy Spin:
Hixon has played in just two games in the last two seasons due to multiple knee injuries. He's not much of a fantasy option, as he's likely just a figurehead third receiver instead of someone who will actually compete for major targets. Expect Eli Manning to spread the departed Mario Manningham's targets around to Hixon, Rueben Randle, Jerrel Jernigan, Ramses Barden and Martellus Bennett.
